REFERENCES
For such an easily observed felid, there are surprisingly few books devoted to the cheetah. The following titles focus on cheetahs or include useful sections on them. Additionally, there are many hundreds of scientific papers on cheetahs that can be accessed through university libraries. Both Caro and Penzhorn (see below) contain a comprehensive list.
